Man, can we count the ways?
Ron Paul has again been in the news, or at least his supporters have. They came to the Maine Republican convention, stuck around, and captured most delegate slots. After Romney supporters challenged the validity of the convention process, the RNC offered them about half of the delegates.
However this situation is resolved, it’s worth pausing to note a key difference between supporters of Ron Paul and Mitt Romney — their enthusiasm about their candidates.
Ron Paul supporters strongly support Ron Paul as a candidate and leader. They are known to be issue-oriented and to admire Congressman Paul.
However, support for Romney often is driven by electoral motives. It is more rare to find voters who strongly admire him and his (many different) positions. While certainly there are Romney voters who report they will be voting for Romney, many acknowledge their will be a vote against President Obama.
